He's a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion. They all dress that way if they are old enough to remember the War, any war. It's alpha-male colouration for Legionaires, like the cheek pads of dominant ourangotangs.

Why do Scots play golf? Why do urban wannabes show off their briefs? Why did Phyllis Diller look like a kindergarden pipe cleaner and feather project gone horribly wrong?

Icetech3:I don't know why but this whole story made me laugh so hard.. and i like don....

That is Bergsonian laughter because in your heart you know that if Don Cherry is attacked by a swarm of bees, he did everything he could to deserve it. He's the snobby dowager to the bees' Three Stooges.

It's like Rush Limbaugh being swarmed by Dominican rent boys on the streets of Santo Dominico.

He has to be very careful going outside in the spring or summer because bees are constantly mistaking him for a field of flowers.

To tell the truth, a lot of CBC sports commentators have trouble with bees. It's those bright monochromatic sports jackets they are all made to wear. But Don Cherry also has to worry about hummingbirds and gorillas because scarlet is not enough colour for him.

He's got more colour than a drinking contest between W.C. Fields and H.L Mencken in a Bourbon distillery cellar.

Although Don Cherry is quasi-unique, it is not unusual for Canadian men of his generation to wear tartan jackets that make the Quebec Provincial Tartan look like the Stewart Ancient and Weathered.

Here's a website to help you visualize that. Dim the room lights if you can to prevent permanent eye damage.

P.S. This is why Canadians watch Hockey Night in Canada with the lights off. They're not napping. They're waiting for Don Cherry to finish his rant so they can turn the TV off and go to bed.

They were probably wearing visors like the sissies they are. Fark Don Cherry, the fact he was voted one of the greatest Canadians is a national embarrassment. I hope the bees managed to sting his tounge or larynx, to shut him up for a bit, so the bee's deaths weren't in vain.

Not because I don't necessarily enjoy watching said sport, but, rather, because the butt-hurt that sports fans who think this stuff actually matters fills my schadenfreude implant to overflowing.

I'll make sure to let the thousands of stadium workers and other people tangentially involved with these organizations who are all jobless for the holidays know that you're feeling pretty smug about all this.

Send them my love.

I tried. They said it smells funny, and it looks kind of diseased, so they don't want it.

You're supposed to put it in dry ice first, dummy.

But love is supposed to be forever!

Or is that just mass-market love, which they fill with artificial love-preservatives?

Let's just make our own season! Use NHL '13 to simulate the cancelled games, streamed live online with hockey nerds providing commentary. Cherry can put obnoxious backgrounds on his Twitter account and exchange tweets with Ron MacLean between periods.
